On October 16th, Uhuru Planet Reparations Apparel is excited to join the Uhuru Solidarity Movement in Philadelphia, PA for the 2021 Philadelphia March for Reparations to African People . Part of a national day of action with marches and events in St. Petersburg, FL; Oakland, CA; Portland, OR St. Louis MO.
This is a call to action to the white community to stand in solidarity with the African community's struggle for reparations and self-determination. One year after the murder of George Floyd, it's not over. The struggle continues.
The march will kick off in Clark Park at the One Africa! One Nation! Uhuru Flea Market (43rd & Chester Ave) at 11:30am with a rally. This market is the last one of the season and one of the 50+ economic institutions of the African People's Socialist Party to build power and self-determination for the African working-class community.
The rally will be followed by a march around University City with brief stops for local anti-colonial history and significance of the reparations demand in Philadelphia. The march will loop back to end in Clark Park with another rally.
Featuring speakers from the African People's Socialist Party, African People's Solidarity Committee, musical performances and over 50 African vendors in a dynamic outdoor marketplace.
This March is a fundraiser for the Black Power Blueprint's community basketball court in North St. Louis, MO. Learn more and donate towards our goal of $60,000 to support this black self-determination project at gofundme.com/communitybasketball
This event is more than a march and a flea market-- this is a call to white people to take a stand in material solidarity with the struggle for self-determination and liberation of African people, to be part of building a new world where no one lives at the expense of another.
